Five Genetically Modified Seeds from Monsanto

Here is an idea for an outdoor sculpture I was working on yesterday. The materials I would use would be recycled wood, metal, glass jars, and clay sculptures of corn, wheat, soybeans, canola, and possibly sugar beets. These are 5 out of the 8 GMO seeds Monsanto produces on an incredibly large scale. I am paying more attention to these 5 plants because they are foods we consume on a regular basis. The glass mason jar is used to preserve foods. Having the plants in the jars is a reminder to save and preserve their natural make-up.
